Body Psychotherapy Bristol

What Happens in a Session?

Sessions are normally weekly and are an hour in length. What happens in a session can be very variable depending on what you bring to the session as a client. During the session we might:

discuss problems and issues in an empathic way which allows full exploration of the feelings and sensations which arise

gently explore physical tensions that act to block desired actions or feelings and their relationship to life’s conflicts and uncertainties

explore a physical sensation or movement that seems to have some particular emotional charge

explore challenges which arise in our therapeutic relationship

ease and investigate physical tensions with massage where this is desired and considered appropriate

It’s important to emphasize that physical work is only brought in when appropriate and helpful - some sessions may take place with us sitting the whole time in conversation - as in many other psychotherapeutic approaches.
